Salesman fined for selling customer data to rival firms

A former sales consultant has been fined after pleading guilty to unlawfully retaining and selling thousands of customer records from the car leasing company he worked for in Hertfordshire.

Alexander Doré, 44, was found to have taken over 3,600 pieces of personal information from the internal customer database of Leaseline Vehicle Management before resigning from his role.

Doré sold the data to multiple competitor companies, falsely claiming ownership of the information.
